If you haven’t had enough of the rumored Nokia Normandy, here we are presenting you new screenshots allegedly taken from its UI. It is believed that the Normandy runs a modified version of Android – although, seeing all the leaked images that appeared until now, the interface looks more like it belongs to a Windows Phone device. But that may be just the result of Nokia’s experiments with custom UIs.

Until we know anything for sure, the most recent Nokia Normandy screenshots (revealed by @evleaks) seem to further confirm that the handset supports two SIM cards. @evleaks also notes that there are “two ways” to interact with the Normandy. It’s not entirely clear what that means, but it seems that you can significantly change the aspect of its home screen. You can enlarge the image on the left for a closer look.

We assumed not long ago that Nokia may use Android (with obvious modifications) to replace its Asha platform. So this is what the Normandy could be when (and if) it hits shelves: a new, affordable Asha-like handset based on Android.

As we reported back in December, another dual SIM smartphone that Nokia may announce soon is the Lumia 630 (codenamed Moneypenny). This, however, is a Windows Phone device. We’ll bring more details on the Normandy, as well as on the Lumia 630, as soon as we get them!

if this becomes a smashing success which it will because it will be priced at 100$ ...
india and China alone will make this device best selling device of 2014..that would gurantee a comeback in 2016 with android ..
awesome finally what every Nokia fan have been waiting for 4 years.. this is true Nokia without eflop and his moles.. we will wait for your return..

I believe we won' t be able to do any kind of customization in this nokia's android version which we can in other android phones. They dont support google services. That means no play store, no maps, no gmail etc etc. This might just have the name ANDROID as the os is a heavily "CHAINED" ANDROID. And people will run behind it like crazy thinking its just an another android phone and this time its from NOKIA. We are all gonna get fooled by Nokia.

Apparently you've never tried anything that says "Huawei", "ZTE", or "Pantech" on it.

You must be hard into Samsung.

I've owned, tested, and sold phones from pretty much every manufacturer, and to this day, I will take a NOKIA over ANYTHING else, this phone (if it sees the light of day) being no exception. You can't touch their quality or design.

Why?
Au contraire... this is an embarassment to Windows Phone! Why did Nokia have to resort to Android after three years of Windows Phone?
Android is open and customizable. This is just a proof of its capabilities, and it's not embarassing at all. The market will decide if they prefer the Nokia customized interface with Nokia and Microsoft services or the classic interface with Google services (and my personal opinion is that this phone will not be a great success without Google Play and all the integrated Google services).

I agree. I would have jumped on this myself before...but now that ms owns them I won't be touching this one. What a shame...the one OEM that didn't listen during the formation of the Open Handset Alliance is the one that most Android users were hoping for.

This seems fishy due to the fact that ms now owns Nokia. But hey...Nokia may actually have a phone now that people will want to buy. (better late than never...and to think where Nokia would be now if they had just done this along time ago - they'd still be their own company and a powerhouse that would have kept Samsung from dominating). Curious to know if they are also paying ms's Android bully fees????
